#230318 — Intermittent problem with integrated webcam / Thinkpad E130/ Stretch

Message-ID<BtwdH-5ZE-9@gated-at.bofh.it>
Hi,

$ uname -a
Linux e130 4.9.0-14-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 4.9.246-2 (2020-12-17) x86_64 
GNU/Linux

$ cat /etc/debian_version
9.13

$ inxi -M
Machine:
   Type: Laptop System: LENOVO product: 33588QG v: ThinkPad Edge E130

I have had a problem with having the integrated webcam to be recognized 
by various applications (cheese, Microsoft Teams [yes...], Zoom, etc). 
It does work sometimes and it doesn't at other times.

I have various kernels installed (4.9.0-11-amd64 all the way through 
4.9.0-14-amd64) and rebooting into each of these kernels won't make much 
difference.

I have uninstalled, purged and reinstalled build-essential 
linux-headers-`uname -r` linux-image-amd64`uname -r` (for each of the 
kernel versions) and usbutils, and I have also uninstalled tlp, but it 
doesn't seems to make much difference.

This is the full log of `dmesg|grep video` of today, when I had the last 
failure:

https://paste.debian.net/plainh/1c22d1aa

I can't upgrade to Debian stable for a number of reasons that it will 
take to long to explain and I have to stick with Stretch for the time 
being. I've only had this problem for the last 6 months, presumably 
after some upgrades.

Any help will be appreciated.

Hi Ottavio,

if the issue with your camera is a kernel thing then you can install
newer kernel from backports.

According to this page -

https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/linux

Linux  4.19.118 is available for Debian 9.

HTH

Kind regards
Georgi

Thanks, but I'm not 100% sure the problem is with the kernel. If 
anything, older kernels would probably work better.

I've added the stretch-backports repos and installed the new kernel and 
headers:

$ uname -r
4.19.0-0.bpo.9-amd64

But it doesn't seem to have sorted much out. The camera gets recognised 
for a few minutes and then it stops.

I just did a search in google for TP 130
https://wiki.debian.org/InstallingDebianOn/Thinkpad/Edge-E130/wheezy

http://linux-hardware.org/index.php?id=usb:5986-0299

It looks like it is supported since wheezy and reported to be recognized up
to kernel 5.10. If it does not work - either there is something else or a
regression. Something else could be udev or some other subsystem that
messes up.
especially "[   83.457152] uvcvideo: Failed to resubmit video URB (-19)."

I have installed uvcdynctrl, but I don't know what to make of its output:

$ sudo uvcdynctrl -l

and there is again this?
uvcvideo: Failed to resubmit video URB (-19)

can you try unloading uvcvideo and loading it again?

sudo rmmod uvcvideo 
sudo modprobe -v uvcvideo 

if this does not help - try some live USB distro and check if it works. It
could be anywhere from the hardware/bios through firmware, kernel and udev

Thanks. This is the dmesg log while giving the 2 commands as above:

After `sudo rmmod uvcvideo`:
[15630.304614] usbcore: deregistering interface driver uvcvideo

After `sudo modprobe -v uvcvideo`:

may be it will not help as looking for the output I find this bug report
still in recent kernels.

So - briefly no luck :/

you better follow the kernel guys - there might be patch or something that
works for you. Sorry, but there are often issues with integrated stuff.

In this case, what's the oldest kernel I can install on Stretch?

you mean the most recent? 

I don't know - it looks like there is no solution though as even in later
5.6 similar issues are reported. The latest stable kernel is 5.10.5
https://www.kernel.org/

Better think of subscribing some kernel list and asking there for
instructions. I would patch/compile the latest kernel

nice make -j`nproc` bindeb-pkg
https://wiki.debian.org/BuildADebianKernelPackage

I am not authorized by any entity to tell you what to do - may be there are
better ideas around.

I just remember struggling with similar issue years ago. You either 
1. get your hands dirty (means you debug and probably solve the issue
yourself) 
2. get into alliance with the kernel guys (if you are lucky to find someone
to help do the dirty work for or with you - chances are good as it seems
they are working on that)
3. let the kernel guys do the dirty work (follow the commits on the
uvcvideo) and just test and keep what is good for you

https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=111291#c20
here the guy says it was working with pre v4 kernel. May be try some
liveCD/USB.

I'm just wondering why one would want to have a spy cam on his notebook
working. In the company everybody glue something on the webcam or painted
it with permanent black.
At home - audio is off and the webcam is fully covered as well.
... but in the case it is your privacy matter.

Some of us do need the webcam for video calls / conferences ;)
(family, friends or work)

There are also much more elegant solutions (just an example):

Andrei, forgive me the the joke, but I doubt you are a model or movie star,
I would insist looking at :D - same for me :D.
I understand this but do not understand completely why would this be
mandatory.

another one made out of plastic and in China - pfui! My solution is
displaceable and replaceable piece of paper with duct tape. It has even
lower CO2 footprint :D

A while ago, one of our local geekspace presented a clever origami-like
scheme to make such a retractable cover out of post-it notes [1].

The sticker part sticks to the laptop bezel and it has a sliding part
to open and close the lid. Text is in German, but it should be easy
to follow without the language.

Yes. And what does "audio is off" mean - is the microphone physically
sound-shielded, or just disabled in software (on some level of the
system)? If the latter, why shouldn't that suffice for the camera as
well?

No, I mean the opposite. The oldest that can be installed on Stretch 
Because I didn't have a problem with older kernels. I must have 
uninstalled some of the oldest kernel I had. At the moment I have:


$ dpkg -l|grep linux-image

from what I read you need a 3.x kernel to be sure it works.

Last time I checked the kernels in backports I couldn't find older one ...
but there are bugs one would not want to have ... I can't help - sorry.

Typically a Debian release should run with the kernel from the previous 
release (makes dist-upgrade easier), specific exceptions are mentioned 
in the Release Notes.

If possible you should stick with kernels from the LTS project (as far 
as I know stretch is still supported).

For testing purposes you can find all Debian packages ever uploaded to 
the archive at https://snapshot.debian.org.

Kind regards,
Andrei
